Learning

• Public Lectures:
  Cultural Events and lectures are open to the public and, unless otherwise noted, free of charge.  These are listed in the College bulletin and on the College homepage and in the College calendar
• Lifelong Learning:
  Non-credit enrichment courses are offered throughout the year to extend the resources and facilities of the College to the community. Classes cover such topics as yoga, dance, local history, and instructional technology; other recreational and special interests (sailing classes and a film series, for examples) are offered periodically.
• Summer Session:
  St. Mary’s College offers credit courses and other special programs during a summer session of six weeks. The session provides courses in many disciplines for students and for area residents who attend other college and universities. Faculty members occasionally offer special courses during the summer which are not offered during the academic year.
• Continuing Education:
  Continuing Education and Professional Program students may be working professionals who attend evening classes, adults returning to college, qualified local high school students, or students desiring to change careers or pursue academic work for personal enrichment.  The faculty and staff at St. Mary's College of Maryland have a commitment to help these students in their educational pursuits, and they welcome persons of all ages to the St. Mary's classrooms.
